                          HON. GARY G. MILLER

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, June 26, 2009

  Mr. GARY G. MILLER of California. Madam Speaker, pursuant to the 
Republican Leadership standards on earmarks, I am submitting the 
following information regarding earmarks I received as part of the FY 
2010 Defense Authorization Bill.
  Requesting Member: Congressman Gary G. Miller 
  Bill Number: H.R. 2647
  Account: Navy--Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: General Dynamics
  Address of Requesting Entity: 180 North Riverview Drive, Suite 300, 
Anaheim Hills, California 92808
  Funding Authorized: $3,600,000
  Description of Request: The Deployable Autonomous Distributed System 
(DADS) is the future of Network-Centric Anti-Submarine Warfare. The 
DADS program integrates and demonstrates an autonomous undersea sensor 
system, deployable from multiple platforms, to improve the Navy's 
capability to conduct effective anti-submarine warfare and 
intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance operations in the 
littoral environment. DADS enhances the automation and connectivity 
between sensors, operators, and weapons and feeds the network-centric 
antisubmarine warfare picture. DADS utilizes multiple, cutting edge 
sensor technologies to increase the probability of detecting threats 
and to reduce the false alarm rate. With a goal to be deployable by any 
available asset, DADS will serve as an unmanned, autonomous reporting 
entity, freeing surveillance platforms for other missions. This funding 
will help the Navy in developing a system small enough to support 
deployability goals and in the development of compact power sources.
  Requesting Member: Congressman Gary G. Miller 
  Bill Number: H.R. 2647
  Account: Navy--Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: L-3 Power Paragon
  Address of Requesting Entity: 901 E. Ball Road Anaheim, California 
92805,
  Funding Authorized: $5,000,000
  Description of Request: This project is a design build prototype for 
a hybrid electric drive (HED) for the CG 47 Class Cruisers for the US 
Navy. This project contributes to the future of environmentally sound, 
fuel-efficient propulsion. The Navy believes that this improvement 
would realize a significant savings per year per ship. This HED for 
surface combatants such as the CG 47 would significantly reduce fuel 
costs, increase ship endurance and range, produce less environmental 
emissions, increase ship survivability through reduce signatures, and 
provide increased overall ship electric power generation capacity. This 
installation would leverage advances in lighter weight and more 
efficient electric propulsion technologies that have resulted from the 
Office of Naval Research investments over the last several years.
